Static method in java code example

Example 1: static in java

//Java Program to get the cube of a given number using the static method  
using static before a method or variable we can access it by not creating a 
instance of it.in the program we directly used student.cube(5)
class Calculate{  
  static int cube(int x){  
  return x*x*x;  
  }  
  
  public static void main(String args[]){  
  int result=Calculate.cube(5);  
  System.out.println(result);  
  }  
}

Example 2: why we use static in java

In Java, static keyword is mainly used for memory management.
It can be used with variables, methods, blocks and nested classes.
It is a keyword which is used to share the same variable or method of a given
class. Basically, static is used for a constant variable or a method
that is same for every instance of a class

Example 3: what is static method

A static method belongs to the class rather than the object.
There is no need to create the object to call the static methods.
A static method can access and change the value of the static variable

Example 4: static in java

static keyword is a non-access modifier. static keyword can be used with 
class level variable, block, method and inner class or nested class.

Example 5: do i have to use static methods in java main

Use a static method 
when you want to be able to access the method 
without an instance of the class

Example 6: Static method in java

We can declare a method as static by adding keyword “static” before method name.
Let’s see example on static method in java.

public class StaticMethodExample
{
   static void print()
   {
      System.out.println("in static method.");
   }
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      StaticMethodExample.print();
   }
}
